Songwriter

Although songwriting is a lucrative profession, it isn’t easy to get into the industry. Songwriting is a combination of self-study, examining the instrumentals of songs, and factoring the singing capabilities of the performer—basically you have to have a good ear. Those who make it big get the opportunity to hang out with famous singers, producers, and industry execs. The best part: the royalties from songs tend to make more money for songwriters than the actual performers.
Average Salary: $40,000 to $110,000 plus
